There's No Desire


He never asked to be born in this world. It was his father and mother who planned his presence and God blessed his birth. Raya could never choose who would be her parents, but her father and mother could choose not to have them. So, what's been the fault of the Kingdom all this time? Why should he have a father like this? Was it the one who made her mother die? No ‘kan? If it can be ... if it can, Raya will ask that her mother not die. Or if it can be exchanged, Raya prefers that she go to replace her mother to face God.


The mother died from a severe illness that was not detected by Raya and her father. This is very strange indeed. As a medical worker, her mother saved many people. Cure the diseases of the surrounding community and help improve the environment in that area. But no one thought precisely the person who should understand the most about human health there actually died of illness. Even diseases that are not detected before so late handling and make it too late rescued.


It's not Raya's fault. He was too young to know anything about his mother's illness. However, his father actually gave the blame to Raya. He said it was Ray who made the woman die. If only they had no children, then the woman would not be exhausted taking care of Raya. Because one of the factors that make the mother died is because the woman did not keep her lifestyle healthy. He does advise patients who visit his practice to always maintain a healthy lifestyle. However, he died because he could not maintain it.


Time also passed. Raya is used to her condition. Starting from living in slums with a poor economy to potluck money that must be efficient for daily needs. Had there been no money at all, Raya would have taken the money out of her father's pants pocket or purse when the middle-aged man was sprawled on the living room floor of their home. Although far from enough words, strangely in the body of his father there is always money tucked away. Instead of being used for useless things like buying cigarettes and liquor, Raya better take it and use it to buy daily necessities, especially kitchen needs. Fortunately, several times Raya can take the money owned by her father even though he had to flee every morning from home.


Where did Raya keep the money she had collected all this time? Certainly not in the house. It would be foolish for Raya to do that when her useless father was there. In an instant, it was certain that the money would vanish taken by the father. So, Raya decided to plant it somewhere. A place that no one predicted, namely in the park that was next to the orphanage. It is safe because there are rarely children who want to play in the park. Spooky myths circulated in the park that frightened the children around, including children who were in orphanages. No one dared to play in the park. Just passing by was already very scared. As much as possible they will choose an alternative road so as not to go through the park.


Not only money, anything of value will be stored there, including some jewelry belonging to the mother. Unlike Farraz's parents who left the boy without any financial help, the mother Raya still thinks about her daughter. The woman seemed to know that her husband would never be able to be relied upon to raise Raya. For this reason he prepared a set of expensive jewelry to Raya that was hidden by the mother in the garden. Then, he kept a notification note for Raya in the boy's school bag. So Raya can use the jewelry for her school needs.


Because the higher the high school, the more expensive the cost. The free school program only until elementary school in their village was not really free because the majority of students were still forced to pay various illegal fees under the guise of official. For example, asked to pay money to build a school gate even though the roof of the building is still often leaked. Or the most unreasonable is that the school requires students to take a study tour out of town at a very expensive cost even though the majority of the population who attend school at that place earns very little. And the number of wild levies is even more than the cost in private schools.


It was in the park that Raya first saw Farraz when they were still sitting on the Junior High School bench. Farraz certainly did not know Raya, but instead, Raya knew Farraz. Ah, errata. He meant knowing the information about the young man. He was an intelligent and famous student along Asoka Street. There is one thing that made Farraz very famous, namely when shaking hands with the minister of education at the junior high math Olympiad. His name was also heard and he was well guarded by the people in the villages on Jalan Asoka.


The parents regret their fate for giving birth to foolish children, unlike the clever Farraz. Even some of the mothers even want the life of Farraz's mother who they think is quite lucky. Despite being left behind by the men who impregnated her, but at least Farraz's mother did not lower her folly on the child. At least Farraz will be able to change his life so as not to be poor anymore. That's already proven from the simple thing where Farraz one step in front of the children around Asoka Street. Because the boy had a guarantee to go to school without thinking about any costs.


Raya also felt jealous of Farraz, but he had nothing to be proud of. A messy family with a father who can not be expected and instead become a burden. The life of the poor and above all, Raya is not smart. Even if it can be tested, maybe the intelligence of the Kingdom can not reach a quarter of Farraz's intelligence. Weakness of all things. So, there was no way the Kingdom would be able to surpass Farraz's achievements. Just being in the same school would not be possible. For what children who can get an education in a better school must stay in school in this poor area? That's totally impossible.


But destiny says something else. Farraz, who was predicted to choose a better school in the center of the capital, chose instead to stay in the village, on Asoka Street. At first no one knew what the exact reason was, but the explanation from the orphanage manager finally gave a point. Farraz could not leave his mother in the village. It means the mother's grave. That's the only thing Farraz has in this world. He had no one else to lean on.


After all, Farraz did not know the purpose of his life. All this time he used it just to make money. So that he was not told by the leader of the orphanage to work in the factory as a laborer. The young man preferred to use his brain rather than his muscles and he succeeded. During this time he really did not work other than struggling with textbooks and winning various races. The money he earned from the race was what Farraz used for his daily living expenses inside the orphanage.


So, there's nothing Farraz wants anymore. According to him, as long as his brain can still be used to find money, then he can move on. No need for a house because it is just a building. The orphanage was enough for Farraz to live in. The caretakers of the orphanage did not mind at all. They were grateful that the money Farraz gave them as a living expense was far greater than any other orphanage children could raise.


That was Farraz's shallow mind. Temporary thoughts are entrenched in the brain of a boy who has absolutely no ambition and no ideals. Before knowing how cruel the world is and what is the point of being rich and having power. Farraz, who was not thinking about all of these things, suddenly changed his mind when someone appeared before him. A man who broke down all of Farraz's ridiculous thoughts and grew in the young man's heart with so-called desires, hopes and obsessions.
